James Harden has to stop partying and going to the strip clubs on the road. Come on, Beard! Please focus.
ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfoJames Harden has shot 14-51 over his last 2 games (27.5%).
That is the 4th-worst FG pct over a 2-game span over the last 15 seasons (min. 50 FGA).
6-29 of that was from three-point range. I'm just glad the Houston Rockets went 1-1 during the two road games.
By comparison, Harden shot 6-12 threes (50 %) and 13-24 field goals (54.2 %) in last Friday's win over the 76ers.
An OKC Thunder fan tried to debate me on Twitter that the Rockets weren't a legitimate championship contender but I quickly put them in their place. Being a contender is subjective. All it truly means is playing your best in the playoffs. If the Rockets step up in the playoffs with a likely top 3 seed people will be praising them I bet. The much maligned Houston Texans are contenders all of a sudden if they win at Kansas City on Sunday to reach their first AFC Championship game! Winning can change a negative perception.
The Rockets host the Timberwolves on Saturday afternoon at 4 PM. Maybe some home cooking is all we need.
